Join Team Country Day School in Support of UniversalCare Strides for Seniors - Oct. 4
For several years, the Junior School has enjoyed a meaningful connection with Richview Manor, a senior residence in Vaughan. From sending heartfelt note cards during the pandemic to sharing songs during visits in more recent years, our students have found special ways to brighten the lives of its residents.
This year, our entire CDS community will have an opportunity to support the 2025 UniversalCare Strides for Seniors on Saturday, October 4. All proceeds from the Junior School’s Dress Down Day on Friday, October 3 and a Middle/Senior School Dress Down Day (date still TBD) will go directly toward this important initiative, which benefits CIBPA PLACE, York Region’s first Residential Respite Dementia Care Centre.
Once completed, CIBPA PLACE will be operated by Richview Manor’s partners at CHATS (Community & Home Assistance to Seniors). This not-for-profit organization will provide specialized care for individuals living with dementia and much-needed relief for their caregivers.
The Strides for Seniors event is a family-friendly day at North Maple Regional Park in Vaughan, featuring 5km and 2.5km routes, food trucks, entertainment, activities for all ages, great participant swag, and a few surprises. It’s more than just a walk or run—it’s a celebration of community and compassion.
Whether your family contributes through Dress Down Day donations or chooses to participate in the walk/run at North Maple Regional Park in Maple the morning of Saturday, October 4, your support will make a meaningful difference to families and individuals struggling with dementia in our community. Together, we can help create a safe, state-of-the-art, home-like environment where seniors living with dementia receive the round-the-clock care they need.

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
